Hup!

Hup! Hup! Hup!

-Uh-oh. Aah! -Buh.

Sorry, Oscar. I was going too fast.

Hedgehog, never apologize for being faster than me.

Ava: Hedgehog! Oscar!

Hey, it's the monsters.

Oh, man, I love the monsters.

Let's hang out with them all day.

We're leaving the island, kids. Goodbye forever.

Both: What? Wait.

Waah!

What's going on? Why are you leaving?

Our terrifying godmonster is coming to visit.

And she really doesn't like us.

But you guys are the best, most gentle monsters.

Why wouldn't she like you?

You wouldn't understand.

No, our godmonster is a very old-school, traditional monster.

She thinks we should all live in filthy caves underground

and run around scaring children.

We could never do that to you.

You guys are our closest friends.

We just like to read books and play croquet.

If Godmonster sees the way we're living now, she'll be furious.

I'm sorry, guys,

but we're running away forever. -[ Crying ]

We love you. Don't go.

We love you. Don't go.

This is just like when I left my husband.

At least your boat had a motor when you left your husband.

Both: We love you. Don't go. We love you. Don't go.

Agh, we love you, too.

Maybe we're making a mistake, Howie.

Stop the boat.

Why don't you guys just be honest with your godmonster

about who you are?

You guys are the greatest. I'm sure she would accept you.

Hmm, I mean, I get it.

I know what it's like to have overbearing parents.

I don't. My parents are perfect.

Hey, if Oscar and I can help you impress your godmonster,

then will you stay?

But they don't need to impress her.

They're great as they are.

We can pretend to be scared little kids,

and the monsters can chase us around.

Ooh, and drag us back to their lair?

You have a lair, right?

It's more of a duplex.

Hedgehog, that plan might actually work,

and then we don't have to leave you guys.

Yes. We love you.

Don't go!

[ Sighs ] Why are monsters like this?

One last touch.

[ Rumbling ]Here she comes. Places, everyone.

-[ Muffled screaming ] -Don't worry, Howard.

We got the perfect plan and the perfect costumes.

-She's coming. -She's coming.

-Aah! -She's coming.

[ Rumbling continues ]

[ Roars ]

Well, godbabies, it's been a century.

Together: Hello, Godmonster.

We made you a cudgel.

Ava, show me your claws.

They're clean!

You haven't eaten a child in months.

I need to see dirt packed under those nails.

Mortimer, you smell like a -- a -- a lilac!

-Oh, thank you. -Where's your musk?

Musk. Musk!

Melvin, you were such a small monster when you were a kid.

What's your excuse now?

Why is your body different than I want it to be, Melvin?

-Don't listen to her, Melvin. -All right.

Now I need you all to roar for your godmonster.

Roar. Roar. Roar. Roar.

Come on, better than that.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Pathetic!

You're clearly not living up to your monster-y potential,

so I guess I live here now until you milk babies can prove

that you're doing good by the family name.

Do you hear me?

Once she falls asleep,

I'm getting right back on the boat.

Godmonster, I promise we're very monstrous.

Well, can you prove it, Howie?!

Aah!Oscar and Hedghehog: ♪ Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob♪

Oh, oh! Who could that be?

♪ Schlafst du noch? Horst du nicht die Glocke♪

Oh, look, some delicious kids.

♪ Bim, bam, bum, bim, bam, bum ♪

Oh, sister, we are lost on this forest road.

Our stepmother shall be cross

if we are not home by nightbird's call.

Why do they look like they came off a cuckoo clock?

Well, let's go scare them like we do all the time

to kids all the time.

I'll believe it when I see it.

-Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! -[ Grunting ]

Good heavens, mein bruder.

Oh, sister, away, let us fly.

Howard: Grrrr.

Aah! Heavens, preserve me!

[ Panting ] Oscar, you're -- you're running too fast.

Oh, I have tripped upon my hosen.

One sec. One sec.

I have to admit, they're really scaring those clumsy children.

-Rawr! -Aah!

Oh, Blanche, you got a little...

Gone?

It's on your belly now. Right there.

Oh, thank you. It's just cereal from breakfast.

Thanks. -No problem.

-Rawr! -Aah!

I just can't seem to get out of this hosen.

Whew! All right. I'm back.

[ Roaring ][ Screaming ]

[ Monsters panting ]

You guys did great. You were so scary.

-Did we fool her, huh? -Ugh, I think so.

Oscar and Hedgehog, you're really amazing friends.

Thanks, dude.

I still think you guys shouldn't hide how cool you are,

but I'm glad you stuck around.

Shouldn't you guys head back in case she decides to -- aah!

-Oscar! -Oscar!

Well, I'm impressed, darlings.

You can scare the bologna out of a child after all.

I'll take the elephant. You can keep the rat.

No, wait. Guys, tell her the truth!

Uh, Godmonster?

-What, Howie?! -Aah!

-Hedgehog? -Oscar!

I'm sorry.

♪♪

Welcome to my kitchen, Oscar, baby.

You're going to be spending the rest of your life here,

my little knish.

I'm going to be a knish?

Enough small talk. Let's get cooking.

I'm sorry. I'm too big to fit in your oven.

Not so fast, kiddo.

You're don't get out of here that easy.

Please don't eat me!

Please don't eat Oscar!

This is all my fault.

You guys wanted to run away, and I asked you to stay.

No, Hedgehog. We wanted to stay, too.

Uh, I'm sorry we were too afraid to stand up for ourselves.

Am I the only one who thinks the boat plan was flawless?

Oscar was right. We should have just been honest.

What am I going to do without him?

He's right under our tuckus, and we can't do anything about it.

Wait. [ Gasps ] You're right. I'm a hedgehog.

I can dig my way down there.

Monsters, we have to face our fears.

She's a hedgehog, not a groundhog.

Let's get digging.

♪♪

Don't be afraid.

We'll just sneak in, grab Oscar, and we'll sneak out.

[ Gasps ] Oh, no. Oscar's shoes. Come on.

Let's try the kitchen.

Oscar?

Godmonster, we have intruders, intruders, intruders.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

Phew. Aah!

[ Roars ]

What are you dummies doing here?

Um...

[ All gasp]

Together: You turned Oscar into cookies?

What? Oh.

Yeah, I definitely turned him into cookies. Mmm.

You monster.

-Yeah, obviously. -What have we done?

We should've been true to ourselves,

and none of this would've happened.

Oh, Oscar, I'm so sorry.

What am I going to do without you, cookie?

Why are you so upset?

We eat kids for breakfast, right, Howie?

[ Crying ]

-Oh, Hedgehog. -Stop sniffling, Howie.

You need to act like a real monster.

I am a real monster,

and I don't eat kids for breakfast!

What?!

I'm not like you, Godmonster.

We've never scared children,

and Oscar and Hedgehog are our friends. [ Sniffles ]

And I'm sorry if that bothers you.

Or if you think we're lesser monsters because of it.

But we like who we are.

And if we listened to Oscar earlier,

then he wouldn't be cookies right now.

[ Bell rings ][ Crying ]

Hey, what's all the crying about?

Oscar? Oscar?Oscar? Oscar?

[ Gasps ] Oscar!

We thought you were cookies.

Oscar, I'm so sorry. You were right.

We finally told Godmonster the truth.

-[ Breathing heavily ] -Godmonster?

I don't like scaring children either.

What? What? What? What?

Oh, my, I can't even tell you. I'm so relieved.

It's been exhausting being this monstrous.

This is so wonderful. Why didn't you tell us sooner?

I was afraid. I thought you monsters always looked up to me.

I was trying to set

a good monster-y example for you.

You should've seen my Godmonster.

She was horrifying.

She'd scare kids just by looking at them.

And her godmonster, she'd eat a whole kid

before her morning coffee.

Now this was a monster.

I live down here by myself, but I get so lonely.

I befriend kids and bring them down to my lair,

and we bake cookies and play board games.

But what happens to the children if you don't cook and eat them?

Oh, they grow old, and -- and then they don't call me anymore.

Godmonster, you don't have to hide down here.

Come hang with us. -Do you ever play croquet?

I'd like to give it a try.

I'm so sorry you felt you couldn't be honest with me.

You know I love you no matter what.

Back at you, Godmonster.

Hmm.

Would you like an Oscar cookie?

Uh, no thanks.

Ooh, those still kind of creep me out.

Hey, Howard, are you going to hit the ball?

I'm growing cobwebs over here.

Well, you better start befriending them,

'cause I'll hit it when I'm ready.

You play like an old lady.

Croquet is great.

I could really get into this.

Shall I be Mother?

Oscar, as long as you're not cookies,

I don't care what you are.
